kernel 3.13.0-83 regression : screen resolution not detected

[Pierre]

After upgrade from linux-image-generic-3.13.0-77 to 3.13.0-83 the screen resolution is reduced to 1024x768.

Rebooting in 3.13.0-77 solves the problem.

The screen is a IIYAMA ProLite E2207WSV, VGA Only, 1680x1050 60Hz connected to a Nvidia Graphic card.

Some more information (with the working version of the kernel).

This change was made by a bot.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream stable kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.13 stable kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

[Pierre (pierre-aussaguel)]

I just tested, and it is fixed.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

I built a -proposed Trusty test kernel. It is based on the upstream 3.13.0-ckt36 updates. This kernel can be downloaded from:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1562540/

Note, with this test kernel, both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .debs are needed.
